Here is my progress on my first HAED - Little Fairies at Play. I am stitching it on 18ct. It has a total of 146,700 stitches and so far I have completed 2,700. I have the first page (out of 28 pages) about 1/2 done. I am really enjoying stitching this one. There is alot of confetti stitches.

We celebrated Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve for Breakfast. It is a first as usually we do breakfast on Christmas Day. But my brother is a pastor and Christmas Day being on a Sunday this year would have been to busy to stay for long. This is a picture of me with my Dad, Sister and Brother. It was a warm (well 40 degrees is warm in December) and sunny day. I went for my 2 mile walk once I got home and then played games with my DD and her Fiance all afternoon. Then back to stitching.

Today I will be going back to my Dad's house to play games with my sister and my kids. I need to bake a pie yet before I go over there.

Here are my orts for December. I had alot of stitching time and my small glass was overflowing.

This is all of my orts for the year in my frog box. I enjoyed participating in the 2011 TUSAL. I have signed up for the 2012 TUSAL. I have a different container (much larger) that I will add to each month and not have to empty out until the end of the year. At least that is the plan. Maybe I will stitch so much I will need a second container.

I stitched this one up this week. Started it 12/11/11 and finished it up last night 12/16/11. It is from the June 2011 issue of Cross Country Stitching. This is my last finish for 2011. That makes 7 finishes this year. I guess I will have an extra day this week of stitching on my HAED.

I worked on Wintertime this past week and it is close to being done. It should be one of my first finishes in 2012. I have been making a list of the projects I want to do in 2012. Trying to pick out some small and medium ones but a lot of larger ones did make my list. I am trying to have several kitted up and ready to go as slots in my rotation open up. I can see three that will finish up in 2012.

I did start a new small one on Sunday to take the place of Freight Train that I finished up. Hope to have it finished by the end of the week depending on stitching time.

My DD will be home Saturday for 3 weeks. Looking forward to doing things with her when she is here.
